Laying around is not a dream for me so Rick made a suggestion.
He is taking me to a nearby lake at their beaches. He said if I have to lay around why not go to the lake and put my chair in the water and get some sun. Rip the boot off and put my toes in sand and water.
I reminded him that I'm not to go in the sun for prolonged periods due to the meds burning me. He said, "wear a hat" I laughed and said, "yes, let's go!!" I'll bring my cover up if I'm getting too much sun.
So we are going to pack some fruit and drinks and head to the beach Thursday. Originally we thought we'd just go Funday Friday but realized it's a holiday weekend and we don't want to deal with crowds so we think Thursday will be less busy. We shall see. Today is very overcast and rainy so 'they' say it will be nice tomorrow, but 'they' are guessing so we shall see.
Then when this whole nightmare (foot and eye) is over we must go to the shore. The Outer Banks are calling me. But for now this will do. I know this is our first trip to a lake or beach in 13yrs with out our water dog. It's gonna hurt.
I am taking time off until Monday. Time off you say? You don't do anything Peggy. As the Bill Murray character says in 'What About Bob?'
I am taking a vacation from my life. 😁
If you do hit the link to watch this, the lake they are on is the lake where our lake house was. Not bad scenery, right?
Enjoy your holiday.
*Happy Canada Day on Friday to my Canadian readers.
*Happy 4th to my US readers. Be safe.
See you after the holiday.

Enjoy your trip! You deserve it!
Mike. Backatcha.
Bobi, where am I going? Oh the vacation from my life... if only.
That's a great idea. You need a vacation from life that revolves around health care. have fun but watch that sun!
Have a wonderful vacation from your ailments. Close your eyes, soak that foot in the water and drift away.
That was a lovely lake you lived on. Reminds me of one I grew up on. Miss it.
Will this be your first trip to water without your beautiful companion? I hope you see her and are able to remember all the good times (and not that time she went in the poisoned water). Take good care my friend.
Have fun, don't get burnt!
Have fun. BUT take care in the sun!
My honeymoon was to the Outer Banks and we made a second trip there several years later. It definitely has a special place in my heart and memory.
Enjoy your vacation - you deserve some time away. I totally understand the pain of travel without the water dog...I am still grieving my Nermie...it's so hard! Enjoy your time away, make adventures and stay safe!
Sounds lovely, and I hope you enjoy the sand and sun! Be careful....we came home from our wonderful trip, only to discover we are positive for covid. I am glad that we didn't get sick until after the vacation though. I'm sure we were exposed at the Grand Canyon ~ there were people there from all over the world.
We just came back from 4 days in Ocean City MD. The best part of being on vacation is that you have permission to do nothing. If I just sit around and read a book at home, there are all these other things I could be doing. But on vacation? All clear to loaf!
Hope you enjoy yours as much as I did mine.
Enjoy your vacation from your life!
I think that many, if not most, of us would benefit from something similar!
...Taja 🏜️
You turned off notifications on your most recent posts so I just wanted to delude and let you know more people are listening and caring than you think. Also, and I'm gonna say this loudly so it penetrates...IT DOESN'T MATTER IF YOU HAVE CANCER OR NOT. YOU ARE VERY SICK AND HAVING TO TAKE MEDS THAT FEEL LIKE THEY ARE KILLING YOU. No one gets to tell you or make you feel otherwise. No one. Not even the supreme fucking court.
Clearly I meant delurk not delude. Sorry.
